CARP vs. GARB

Posted by Ronnie Clarion On February - 2009

Land distribution to landless Filipino farmers is a preset of provision under Art. XIII Sec.4 of the 1987 Constitution. Prior to this provision, former Pres. Corazon Aquino mounted the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) which was later enacted through the passage of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) or RA 6657 on June 10, 1988. However, the program had been excoriated for its failure to completely distribute lands to the beneficiaries within its target completion timeframe of 10 years. It was later extended for another 10 years yet the struggle for genuine agrarian reform continues.

Ang Kartilya ng Katipunan

The Revolution of the Katipunan may well have been thwarted by American imperialism at the turn of the 20th century, but it is noteworthy to declare that our people, who at that time were only beginning to form the concept of nationhood, were more than able to organize a revolutionary force that would liberate the entire islands from their Spanish colonizers.

Subjugating the Philippine System of Education

Posted by Christian Lloyd Espinoza On Oct - 2009

The transformation and reorientation of the current rotten system of education in the country is not possible without the development of a critical consciousness that reflects and acts upon the existing social (dis)order. Any meaningful change in our basic curriculum must be liberative of the docility that has long infringed our mentality, dissolving what little nationalist ideal there is left in the heart of every Filipino youth.

Campus journalists decry new DepEd chair’s jibe at media

“Bro. Armin Luistro should temper his speech. He obviously does not understand the role of media in a civilized society,” College Editors Guild of the Philippines National President Trina Federis said.

Federis is reacting to Luistro’s comment that the media should not ask him about his stand on sex education, as the media is “unhelpful” and consequently refusing to answer the query.

“For a new Department of Education chair, that’s a very antagonistic remark. He should not expect media to deal with government officials using kid gloves. To do so would defeat media’s role as the watchdog. In a country where the powerful and corrupt few rule, it is no surprise that the media has almost always had less than cordial relations with government officials.” Federis said.

“Luistro should recognize media’s role as the Fourth Estate. Only then will he realize how he should relate with media. As DepEd chair, he will have to face these issues sooner or later, which is why his
opinion is being asked.“ Federis concluded. ###
